Several months ago, I wrote about how I was going to ditch the Iphone and head on over to the Android side of the fence. I picked up an HTC Incredible. Shortly thereafter, I wrote about my experiences with Android after a few days of using it. Now, my main reason for switching at the [...]
In this day and age of high-tech, the notion that our offices and businesses still need to rely on paper as much as they do is just wrong. Whether you want to use the environmentalist argument, or just the one about clutter – the reasons for going paperless are many. For me, it has more [...]
First of all – ABOUT TIME! I’m not using an iPhone anymore (although I haven’t ruled out going back to it), so wasn’t able to check out iOS 4 until today. After doing so, I can see clearly that going from the iPhone 4 back to an iPad would have been frustrating. Multitasking and folders [...]
The rumor mill went crazy over the supposed “Gmail Killer” coming out from Facebook. Honestly, when the buzz machine declares something a “killer” before release, they’re usually dead wrong. … And they were wrong again. This isn’t a Gmail killer. But, it is new. It is innovative. And it could, indeed, help foster in a [...]
When Apple came out with the Ipad, it set an entirely new standard for tablets. In fact, the tablet has never taken off with any meaningful drive – until the Ipad. For some time, Apple enjoyed being the only real option out there if one wants a tablet. We knew that Android models were coming, [...]
I got an Ipad a few months ago. Some may think it is a fairly useless device, but I find that I use it every single day. It is one of those devices that you probably won’t understand until you have one and have a chance to use it for awhile. It is a new [...]
The whole Mac versus PC debate will rage until the end of time. It isn’t one that I get much involved with because it is an unwinnable debate. I happen to use Macs. I like Macs. That said, the Windows side of the fence is one I lived on for many years before I switched. [...]
Something must’ve frozen over. Because Apple has been loosening up their app restrictions lately, leading to what is now an official approval of Google Voice for the Iphone. There have been a couple of third-party apps in the app store approved recently (i.e. GV Mobile+), however Google now has the green light for an official [...]
This resource was submitted to PCMech via the “Got A Tip?” form by Reina, who calls herself “an avid reader”. For all I know, she might work for the resource she submitted to us, but that’s fine. It looks interesting. It is called Cardmobili. Basically, it is a way to store all those loyalty card [...]
PCMech reader, Mary, wrote in via our tip form with the following: I like to keep things “in house”…still don’t feel comfortable throwing much info/docuements/photos out to web sites but I have found this neat site (makeuseof.com) titled CreatePDF (http://www.createpdf.in/) It is wonderful if you want to print a website in PDF and for the [...]
Google made a pretty significant announcement today: Google Instant. In a nutshell, it is instant search results. As you type into the seach box, it will begin pre-populating search results. It will also predict (as close as it can) what you may be trying to search for and give it to you. A few bullet [...]
So, my wife was using her laptop one day to look up a word. She Googled the word and was taken to a dictionary site of some kind. Up pops a warning message saying her computer was infected and that she needed to run some scan or something. Not knowing that she was about to [...]
So, Steve Jobs released a bunch of things. And one of them is Ping. What is it? It is a social network. About music. Inside of iTunes. Today, I went and upgraded to iTunes 10. Now, right there, you look at that version number and you have to wonder. Version TEN. Like a lot of [...]
Apple held their traditional September “Stevenote” this afternoon. In the “something different” department, Apple decided to live-stream the event online. In a suprising move, you had to be tuning in using an Apple device to see the live stream. Windows users were SOL unless they found some kind of geeky workaround. The theory was that [...]
